Iceland Travel Diary (Part 2: ALL THE PHOTOS)
Hi everyone! Now for the fun part of the trip, all the photos! If you missed it and were curious I have a few pages full of text over here with details of our time spent in Iceland.
Disclaimer: This is super image heavy (102 images all together, yikes)! Also I just used my iphone and no fancy cameras so the images won't be super high quality. Also, I have no self-restraint (see: 102 images haha) and thus some images may get redundant...just a fair warning!
Alright I am feeling super jet-lagged and falling asleep at the keyboard but I was determined to get this up today so here goes!
Forrest and I only took a handful of photos of each other/us as our main focus was on capturing all the lovely surroundings but here are a few we did snap:
Forrest posing with our bag full of groceries.
In the woods~
Our faux outdoor attire photo op.
At Thingvellir park~
This is the intense waves at the little beach outside our airbnb I mentioned in the text post.
Animals
There were so many swans in this one lake!
This bird was singing so loudly and was so puffy!
These geese were out in this one spot almost every morning. Our buddies<33
Just one of the many gorgeous cats of Reykjavik.
The Food
Yummy veggie burger at Kaffi Vinyl.
Delicious Lasagna at Glo.
Tasty tomato soup and vegan club sandwich.
Raw Coffee Berry Tart at Glo. YUM
Raw Cheesecake, Raw Snickers Pie and a truffle with some tea and coffee!
Fun Finds

I just loved the art on this version of my favorite HP book, The Half-Blood Prince
Some great postcards reflecting the fun aspects of Reykjavik
Hehehe, I loved this one! Relevant to my little blurb about the thermal baths.
Got this tasty chocolate.
And here are most of my souvenirs. (missing a t-shirt)
